How LPS reduced manufacturing costs with instant Design for Manufacturing

As the autumn deadline for the LaserTrain launch approached, Laser Precision Solutions LPS teams were in a panic.

With an already tight budget dwindling, and the deadline a few days away, additional parts from a manufacturer were needed. 3D Hubs provided the assurance and expertise to keep the project moving forward, and to meet the fast production needs, LPS was able to upload via a secured server, CAD designs meant for CNC machining services.

The Design for Manufacturing (DfM) platform immediately identified potential locations of error. Likewise, the platform produced an on-demand CNC quote. In a matter of hours, CNC machining was at work, creating the parts in need.

CNC machining services, when matched with the capability of the internet, enhances the powerful solutions existing for production processes. Proud of its online and on-demand manufacturing platform, 3D Hubs makes this technology accessible to companies seeking the competitive edge worldwide. The capacity for an instant CNC quote is duplicable and therefore scalable, and the manufacturing analysis completed immediately highlights areas of adjustment in design.  The application of such a platform, entirely automated from design, prototyping, to end-use part, drastically reduces production cost. ...
